THE THRIFTY UNDERTAKEN.

1t must have been remarked by every
one what an especially prosperous
class OF people undertakers are as a
rule. Occasionally one is found who
seems to be having hard time in keep
ing the wolf and creditors from his
door, but such q case is cause for COM
ment among all the other members of
the craft, and gives food for as much
gossip as constableship election.
There was never an undertaken made
poor who attended to his business. In
this city the funeral directors make a
clear profit of from $4,000 to $40, 900 q
Year each, according to the amount of
trade done and the social standing of
the patrons. An undertaken never
seems to be busy, never tries to push
trade, and apparently cares but little
how many interments he conducts in a
week. The secret of all his apparent
apathy is the enormous profit made on
every article sold by the director and
the extortionate price put upon his
services. A coffin which costs him at
wholesale about S25 he trims up at an
increased expense of, say, $40 and then
sells it for 1925 to $3.50 If the friends
OF the deceased are we'll off he puts on
little more trimming and another
500. The very commonest kind of
coffin is sold by the maker for 81. The
undertaken gets $50 or $50 for it. They
will exhibit cloth-covered coffin which
they will tap pleasantly and then an
nounce to you that it is made of solid
chestnut The chestnut used in cotfins
is of the poorest quality, and the only
merit it possesses is that it will last
somewhat longer than other woods. 1t
does not cost as much as good pine,
and two thirds less than walnut. These
meek-looking marauders on the do
nestle and public purse occasionally
lose little by bad debts, but it is very
seldom that funeral expenses are not
paid. 1t is q pity that a boycott cannot
be put upon the whole class, but it
really cannot. -BrOOhlY71 Edqle.

with his dinner for several years, and
which his majesty declared to be bene-

great triumph when he managed to get
hold of this recipe by bribing the Carl

David Dudley Field IS doing good ser
vice in his old age in protesting against
the laws delay" which now practically
amounts to a denial of justice in our
sourts. He says the average length Of
the suits which are sent up TO the court of
appeals is five years. Matters are still
worse in the supreme court of the United
States. The whole aim of our court ma
chinery seems to be TO prolong litigation
and add TO the emoluments Of the legal
profession. Then, as Mr.. Field points out,
how shocking is the condition of our Grim
inal courts. There are 5000 untried cases
in the court Of general sessions in this
city, yet in any civilized state particular
care should be taken that prompt justice
should be administered 70 petty criminals
who are brought before our polite courts.

you remember how we climbed the Riga
And looked upon Lucerne?
How glorious the snow capped Alpine mountains
At sunset seemed to burn!
How. hand in hand, we roaIned the German for
estS
Or streets of ancient Prague?
Now praying in some dim and vast cathedral.
Now lettering at the Hague?
Those days of autumn in historic Holland
Were sweet to you and me,
AS on the dunes Of Scheveningen we fingered
Or sailed the Zuyder See
Those days come back so full Of youth and
beauty,
They seem but yesterday;
And we shall journey there again together
But not the same old way.

One will be there in truth, and one in spirit.
But hand in hand no more; ~
For one alas, has sailed another ocean,
and reached another shore.

Garden, New York port, that 1t hay
ing been reported that Leigh Valley
Mining Companies were going to i'm
port 2OO0 Bclgion miners 10 succeed
that number of American miners now
in their employ, il is the duty OF the
superintendent to see to ii that there
is no violation of the alien labor con-
tract laws. The coal and iron men OF
PENNSYLVANIA are all protc ,tionists
aud in support OF the policy which Is
every year making them all richer at
the expense Of the consumer, they
contend, for the benefit OF the labor
vote, that the abolition of the protec-
tive feature of the tariff would ipjurc
manufacturing aud mining interests,
aud thereby reduce the wages OF the
working men. But this move oil
theirs TO import cheap European labor
shows their interest in the working
men. and shows too the iusincerity OF
their argument. The wages OF iacto-
nv hspds in this country have been
proved to be much less in proportion
to cost OF living than those of England
where free trade prevails.
